0404_josh_hartnett_released.jpg

I don't know if this qualifies as news, but Josh Hartnett was released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center yesterday, where he had been hospitalized since Monday for a gastrointestinal problem. People reports:

"He's fine," his rep Susan Patricola tells PEOPLE. "They are running tests, which take time to get back and it's a process of elimination."

The 30-year-old Pearl Harbor star was taken to the hospital by ambulance Monday after complaining of abdominal pains. Patricola said Hartnett was under observation for a "flare-up" of gastrointestinal problem he has been suffering from for several months since starring in the London stage version of Rain Man. "They just have to figure out what it is," she says.

Sucks for Josh Hartnett, though I can't relate. Mysterious abdominal pains? I dunno, have you seen my abs? I'm pretty sure sculpted steel isn't even capable of pain.

Mar 30 2009Josh Hartnett hospitalized


Josh Hartnett was hospitalized early this morning after suffering abdominal pain, according to E! News:

Hartnett was out Sunday at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont when he began "suffering from a flare of a gastrointestinal problem that plagued him while he was starring in the West End of London during the production of Rain Man," says rep Susan Patricola. The actor was laid up for a few days last November.
Patricola says Hartnett walked into an ambulance under his own power about 1:45 a.m. He was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
"He is under observation but is resting comfortably," she says.

Usually after I eat Taco Bell, I just pop some Tums. But if Josh Hartnett wants to ride in an ambulance, who am I to judge? Directly.

Dec 11 2008Scarlett Johansson puts on her Nobel Peace face (And other goings on)


As the world turns:

- Scarlett Johansson hosts gala event for Nobel Peace Prize winner. Because nothing brings legitimacy to an organization like a woman who dips her teeth in gold as gifts. Good game, Nobel. [CNN Europe]

- Heath Ledger nominated for posthumous Golden Globe. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie forced to settle for lame prehumous nominations and might as well not even show up. [I Watch Stuff]

- Mark Ruffalo drops out of movie to mourn brother's death. Ben Stiller to replace him because Hollywood's a sucker for compounding tragedies. [E! Online]

- Josh Hartnett wins lawsuit against Daily Mirror who admitted to fabricating a story of him having sex in a library. Had they made it two women and one was the Little Mermaid, Josh would've let it slide - for the children. [TMZ]

Dec 10 2008David Beckham or Josh Hartnett?


Alright, ladies, there's been an abundance of strippers today, so here's two men who went out and engaged in completely opposite activities last night: David Beckham bungee jumped in New Zealand while Josh Hartnett went to The Groucho Club in London. So which one floats your boat and the mythical little man who "allegedly" lives there?

NOTE: If it helps in the decision making process, I spent my evening wearing footie pajamas and drinking canned beer. Please don't hold these two to such unobtainable standards of raw sexuality. (You're welcome, fellas.)

Sep 9 2008Josh Hartnett doesn't have a really awesome sex life


Josh Hartnett is suing the Daily Mirror for printing a story that alleges he had sex in a hotel library and was caught on CCTV. Here's the supposed eye-witness report:

"Unfortunately the hotel has security cameras all over the place - the library included. This means their every spit and cough was recorded, and cringing hotel workers saw all of Josh's X-rated moves. Josh didn't seem bothered that the library wasn't locked and anyone could just burst in. He just kind of went for it.
"After the event, someone had a quiet word in Josh's ear and he was asked to take his personal business elsewhere in future. Josh took it on the chin and didn't kick up a fuss. He's been as good as gold since."

Josh's lawyers filed the lawsuit today and he's seeking damages along with a public apology, according to the BBC:

The allegations are "not only untrue but a complete fabrication", said his legal representatives, adding they were "defamatory and unsubstantiated".

Jesus, Josh Hartnett, you don't deny a story like this. You confirm it then fill in the parts that were left out: Like the fact that the woman in question was really five women and afterwards you found the Holy Grail using only your motorcycle and a broadsword.* Or you can do it your way and look like a wienie. Whatever.


*Fact: All my dates end with an epic quest, ladies. (Epic quest may or may not involve trying to locate the clitoris which is near your belly-button, right? No, wait, don't tell me. I know this one...)
